sanie,reference being had to the acconipany` ing drawings, and to figures of reference marked thereon, which forni a part of this specification.

This invention has reference, generally, to

improvements in pyrotechnical toys; andthe invention relates, more particularly, to a novel form of pyrotechnical-toy, which is known in the art as an electric sparkler, and the same consists,- generally, in the application of a suitable pyrotechnical composition,

, 'for fire-works 'and other pyrotechnical devices, to a portion of a suitable wire or other support, which is rotatably connected to a stem or handle, so that, when the pyrotechnical composition is ignited, the device can be swung or rotated about the stein, and thereby produce beautiful pin-wheel effects.

My present invention has for its principal objects to provide a novel and simple pyrotechiiical toy of the general character hereinafter more particularly set forth and which can be readily manipulated and safely handled during the ignition of the pyrotechnical composition.

Other objects of this invent-ion not at this t-inie more particularly mentioned will be clearly evident from the following detailed y description of the saine.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the laccom'panying drawings, iii which Figure 1 is a face view of the pyrotechnical toy, illustrating one embodiment of `my present invention; Fig. 2 is a similar view ofl Referring now'to thesaid drawings, the reference-charact'er'l indicates the complete pyrotechnical toy embodying the principles of the present invention, and the'same coinprises a suitablev roc` of nire'or iiat' band-l nietal, which is preferably .'spirall'y twisted,

several iigures of the drawings. This rod or bar 2 carries upona portion thereof a pyrotechnical compound or mixture 3, and upon its upper endfportion the said rod' or bar 2 is made with suitablemeaiis of suspensionfi, such as a loop or eye, or'otlier means, which will serve the saine purpose. orv\eye is loosely arranged over a suitably formed stein 5, upon which are mounted one substantially Vin the manner shown in the upon each side of said loop or eye, suitable 4 beads, as 6, which forni annular shoulders or stops to prevent vany undue lateral vmovement anddisplacement of said loop or 'eye from the said stein 5, but will not interfere with the rotary or swinging movement of the rod 2'and its pyroteclinical compound about the stem 5, as will be clearly evident.

Instead ofmaking the beads' separate from the stem 5, and securing them upon said. stern by frictional` holding engagement, a stein 7 which is provided with annulerenlargements S forming an integral part of the 'ste-ni 7, and betisf'eeii which the loop lor eye,

or other means of suspension of the bai' or.n

rod 2 is disposed in the manner previously described, may be used., as clearly illustrated in Fig. 4 of the drawings.

The manner of using the device, after the pyrotechnical compound has been ignited, will be clearly understood from an inspection of the several figures of the drawings; and, it will be evident, that l have devised a simple, neat and eilfective pyrotechnical toy, which can be easilv manipulated to produce a rotary or swinging movement of the suspended pyrotechnical compound or body, without any danger of burning oneself.

Of course l ain aware that changes may be made in the general arrangements and com- 'binations of the parte, as well asin the details of the construction of the saine, without del parting from the scope of this invention as the-accompanying drawings, noi' do I con-1 Hencgl do not liiiiit my` '.said rod being viine myself -toj 'exact 4details of the constem which serves as ahandle, and from Whichv said rod is suspendedso as to be capable of -receiving a swinging-motion, substantiallyas andfr the purplses set forth.

2` A pyrotec ical toy comprisin a vrpd provided upon a portion thereof Wit a py- .-rotechnicalcompound, said rod having a means of rotary suspension, combined with a stem Whlch serves as a handle, and from which said ro'd is suspended. so as to be capable of receiving a. swinging motion, and 'a pair 'of annular beads upon -said stem,.said beads bein formed with rounded surfaces and being coated on opposite sides of the means `of suspension to prevent lateral movement and displacement of theA rod from said stern, substantially as and for"l the purposes set forth. Y

3. A yrotechnical toy comprisin a rod lprovide upona portion thereof Wit a py- 'rotechnical compound, said rod having a means of rotary suspension, combinedwith a' 'stem which serves as a handle, and from which said' rod is suspendedso as to be capable of receiving a swingmgmotion, and a pair of beads mounted upon said ,stem and held thereon by' frictional contact, said beads being located onv opposite sides'f of the means of suspension to prevent lateral movement and displacement of the rod from said stem, sub- -stantially as and for the purposes set forth..

4. A pyrotechnical toy comprising a rod,

said rod being Vmade with a spiral twist, a pyrotechnical compound secured upon a portion of said spiral twist, said rod being rovide'd at its upper end with a loop W ich twist, said rod having a vsaid rod to serves as a means of rotary suspension, com-- bined with a stein which serves as a handle,

Vroteehnical-compound, said rod being 'pro- -vided at its upper end with a loop Which serves as a means of rotary suspension, combined With a stem which serves as a handle, and from which said rod is suspended'so as to be capable of receiving a swing motion, and a pair of beads upon said stem, said beads being formed with rounded surfaces and being located on opposite sides of the loop of said rod toprevent lateral movementand displacement of the rod from said stem, substantially a's`and for the purposes set forth.

6. A pyrotechnical toy comprising a rod provided upon a portibn thereof with a pyrotechnical compound, said rod being provided at its upper end with a loop which serves as a means of rotary suspension, combined With a stem which serves as a handle, and from which said rod'is suspended so as to be capable of receiving a swing motion, and a pair of beads mounted upon said stem and held thereon by frictional contact, said beads being located on opposite sides of the loop of prevent lateral movement and displacement of the rod from said'stem, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the invention Set forth above v,l have hereunto set lmy hands this 18th day of November, 1907.
